    Abstract: In response to a first reference voltage, a regulator regulates an output voltage of a line, so that the output voltage is approximately equal to a target voltage. In response to the output voltage rising above a second reference voltage, pull down circuitry draws current from the line. In response to the output voltage falling below the second reference voltage by at least a predetermined amount, the pull down circuitry ceases to draw current from the line. The first and second reference voltages are based upon a same band gap reference as one another.

    Abstract: A circuit includes a gain stage, first and second amplifiers, and a comparison circuit. The gain stage has an input and an output. The first amplifier has an input and an output. The input of the first amplifier is coupled to the input of the gain stage. The second amplifier has an input and an output. The input of the second amplifier is coupled to the output of the gain stage. The comparison circuit is coupled to the outputs of the first and second amplifiers. The comparison circuit is configured to compare signals on the outputs of the first and second amplifiers and to generate a fault flag signal responsive to the output signal from the first amplifier being different than the output signal from the second amplifier.

    Abstract: A circuit includes an input pin connected to an integrated circuit (IC) that receives an input voltage that is provided to a first voltage circuit within the IC. A pass device having a control input responds to a first control signal state and a second control signal state. The first control signal state turns the pass device off such that the input voltage is switched off to block the passing of the input voltage to a second voltage circuit within the IC. The second control signal state turns the pass device on such that the input voltage is switched through the pass device to the second voltage circuit in a voltage range that is compatible with an input operating voltage range of the second voltage circuit.

    Abstract: An angular resolver system includes, for example, an imbalance detector for detecting degraded resolver output signals. The imbalance detector includes a first and second power averaging circuits and a comparator circuit. The first power averaging circuit includes a first integrator for generating over a first time window a first average power signal in response to resolver sensor output signals. The second power averaging circuit includes a second integrator for generating over a second time window a second average power signal in response to the resolver sensor output signals, where the first time window is longer than the second time window. The comparator circuit compares the first average power signal and the second average power signal and generates a fault signal when the first average power signal and the second average power signal differ by a selected voltage threshold.

    Abstract: A current sink circuit coupled to pull down a gate control node (GCN) for an NMOS power FET that controls an actuator includes first and second NMOS transistors coupled in series between the GCN and a lower rail, where the first NMOS transistor has a gate and drain coupled together through a resistor. The current sink circuit also includes a control signal generation circuit (CSGC) and a negative voltage blocking circuit (NVBC). The CSGC is coupled to receive at least one voltage input and an ignition signal and to provide a first control signal and a second control signal. The NVBC is coupled to pass the first control signal from the control signal generation circuit to the gate of the first NMOS transistor and to block a negative voltage on the GCN from reaching the CSGC. The second control signal is coupled to the gate of the second NMOS transistor.
